Prysmian is staging a series of roadshows to\u00a0demonstrate how cables that may look similar can\u00a0perform very differently, highlighting the potential\u00a0dangers of selecting poor quality products.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAll Cables Are Not The Same\u201d (ACANTS)\u00a0roadshow was launched in April, with further\u00a0events planned throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

ACANTS was a response to an influx of substandard\u00a0cable products from across Europe and\u00a0beyond. Prysmian identified a need to\u00a0demonstrate to the whole supply chain the\u00a0importance of selecting the right cable and conceived the roadshow format.<\/p>\n

Hosted by the BBC\u2019s Dallas Campbell, the inaugural ACANTS roadshow took place at Port Solent\u00a0near Portsmouth with an audience of wholesalers, installers and electrical contractors.<\/p>\n

Future events will be staged across the UK including Manchester and London. Using videos and\u00a0live demonstrations of testing procedures, the roadshows vividly illustrate how differently\u00a0individual cables perform. The premise was simply to collect cable samples from the market and\u00a0test them in Prysmian facilities for the characteristics they should offer or claim to offer to see the\u00a0results.<\/p>\n

Several tests were undertaken, with some being filmed in the Prysmian fire test laboratories.\u00a0Films of the most dramatic fire testing were screened, highlighting the financial and life\u00a0threatening effects of choosing the wrong cable.<\/p>\n
